AJ Perez' gf Steph Ayson tweets photo of new "bf"

Steph Ayson was caught on Twitter posting about a recent date with someone only one month after the death of her boyfriend AJ Perez.

While Bagyong Chedeng was causing heavy rains in Metro Manila last Wednesday, May 25, Steph tweeted: "Oh Chedeng...You are ruining my date with @Qfilart", which sounded not so good to some AJ Perez' fans coz they thought Steph has found a new bf after AJ, who just died last month.

But Steph was quick to clarify that @Qfilart is not a new BF (boyfriend) but a girl BF (best friend) and the fans have nothing to worry about. "No no no. @Qfilart is one of my best girl friends. She's a great friend of ours! (AJ and I) HAHAHA Hindi siya guy!"

And then she made fun of the moment when she posted, "You people are so funny! Hahahah! Wait, ha. @Qfilart is on HER way here. I'll check if SHE's really a GIRL. Balitaan ko kayo. HAHAHA"

To make everyone really believe that @Qfilart, Steph then later posted a photo of her and bestfriend Queena Filart who got mistaken as her new boyfriend.

stephayson: "With @Qfilart Who do you think is the guy? hahahaha! Parang ako ata. =)) JK!!"

AJ Perez's 40th day after death was commemorated yesterday, May 26.

A mass was held at the Christ The King Church attended by AJ's family, girlfriend Steph, friends, fellow Star Magic artists and more.

AJ Perez's death, top story in April 2011

The shocking death of AJ Perez was definitely the biggest story last month, April 2011.

On Mykiru Isyusero's monthly round-up of the 20 Most Viewed Posts on this blog, 9 of the Top 20 were all about AJ Perez, including his death, funeral, his last MMK appearance and even AJ's girlfriend Steph Ayson.

Surprisingly, Mykiru's blog post about Steph Ayson being spotted at AJ Perez's first night in La Salle Green Hills Chapel was the #1 most popular in April, beating the post about AJ being killed in a car accident which lands on #2.

Speaking of Steph Ayson, did you know that she was denied by AJ Perez twice on Twitter?

Mykiru did a back-reading of AJ Perez's tweets last March and in two separate dates, the actor said "no" when asked by fans if Steph is his girlfriend.

The first one was last March 10, when Twitter user Princess Yao (@princessarahyao) tweeted a photo of AJ and Steph, and asked him if she's his girlfriend.

princessarahyao: "@ajperez17 hey AJ! Siya ba girlfriend mo?sabi mo kasi wla kang gf pero bakit sabi nung nagpost nyan gf mo daw yan. http://twitpic.com/47l95x"

And AJ replied, "@princessarahyao haha! No, just a friend :))"

Then a week after, March 17, exactly 1 month before his tragic death, another fan asked him about Steph.

EyaStrong: "@ajperez17 AJ Is this true http://plixi.com/p/84574448 ? GF mo si Steph Ayson? =//// Please answer my question =/"

AJ tweeted back, "@EyaStrong No, not true :))"

AJ being asked about Steph started when a series of photos of AJ and Steph were being posted on Twitter during that time by a Twitter user who uses an "inappropriate" username. That user's Twitter page no longer exists, but his/her Twitpic page does, and here are some of the uploaded pictures there of AJ and Steph:

It's understandable why AJ denied Steph girlfriend 'coz he was on the rise as a Kapamilya leading man and it might affect his blossoming career if he admits he has a non-showbiz girlfriend.

And some of his fans definitely wouldn't like to hear from AJ that he has a girlfriend.

But on my part, when I learned after AJ died that he had a girlfriend, it actually made me happy because that just means, he made the most out of his life, he was able to fully enjoy his youth and he was able to experience to love a girl and be loved in return.

AJ Perez and MMK, trending topics on Twitter

AJ Perez' MMK episode entitled "Tsinelas", his last MMK appearance, was certainly among the most-watched episodes of the Philippines' longest-running drama anthology program.

No rating figures yet, but the fact that AJ Perez and MMK were among the Top 10 trending topics on Twitter during its airing, not only in the Philippines but also worldwide, was enough proof that many people tuned in to watch AJ's last acting portrayal.

The hashtag #ajperezmmk was the first to trend at 8PM, and then "MMK" followed an hour later.

#ajperezmmk was the #1 trending topic in the Philippines (Yeah, it was #1. Ignore that promoted #NFLDraft term) and then the phrase "Watching MMK" also made it as a trending topic peaking at #6.

In the worldwide trends, #ajperezmmk peaked at #2 and then MMK ranked 8th.

#ajperezmmk was able to trend worldwide for 2 hours.

It's been a long time since a term or terms related to MMK trended worldwide on Twitter. I think the last time was during Coco Martin's MMK appearance in November6, 2010. Coco Martin, who played a star witness with a mental disability in that episode, was among Twitter's trending topics during that time.

AJ PEREZ' FAMILY AND GF THANKFUL FOR THE SUPPORT
AJ Perez' younger brother Gello was actively posting on Twitter via (@gelloperez) before and during the airing of AJ's MMK episode.

Before it aired, he tweeted: "Let's make my brother's mmk high rated! STAY TUNED! =)))"

And the moment #ajperezmmk made it as among the top trending topics, he immediately thanked the fans on behalf of the Perez family. "Thank you guys so much for making #ajperezmmk one of the popular topics in twitter!!!! The Perez family is sooo thankful! =)"

He later posted how proud he was for his Kuya. "So proud of my brother @ajperez17! He is such a great actor! #ajperezmmk."

Just like Gello, AJ Perez' girlfriend Steph Ayson also making tweets about AJ and his MMK episode:

@stephayson: "In the process of making MMK, AJ made me promise him I'd watch. He was so proud of his last work. I'm keeping my promise. #AJPEREZMMK"

@stephayson: "So proud of you. @ajperez17 #ajperezmmk"

@stephayson: "You're still very much alive to me. I hope you can feel how proud I am of you up there in heaven. @ajperez17 #ajperezmmk"

And then she later tweeted a photo of her and friend Raymond Canteras, who's also AJ's friend, classmate and basketball teammate at La Salle Green Hills. According to Steph, it was Raymond who introduced her to AJ.

@stephayson: The famous "common friend" who introduced me to AJ. Meet @raymondcanteras!!

Steph Ayson: "I knew I want to marry AJ Perez" | Steph Ayson Eulogy

AJ Perez' girlfriend Steph Ayson delivered a heartbreaking and touching eulogy at AJ's wake last night, April 25, at Christ The King Parish.

Steph shared that she and AJ first met in September 2007, met again in 2009 and officially became "on" in February 14, 2010, 3 days before AJ's 17th birthday.

Here's Steph's Eulogy, transcript courtesy of Yahoo! OMG! Philippines:

"I want to be a teacher, a lawyer, and suddenly a doctor. I want to be able to write well, to sing well, and to dance well. All of those changed except one. I knew I want to marry a guy. And his name was AJ Perez."

"I was a silly girl, writing our names beside each other. I was scribbling hearts and playing Flames and I would wake up every Saturday just to watch "Abt Ur Luv." I would sit in front of the TV and watch ASAP. I was a fan and I would like to think I was the biggest fan he had."

"Cheesy, but that's AJ. Cheesy, sweet, sincere. He wanted to promise me the world, but I asked him not to. Because I was too afraid to hurt him, but he promised anyway, and he kept each one of them. He asked for my full trust. I admitted I was having a difficulty, but showed me that he knows what trust means and he'll never do anything to break that."

"He told me that even if I don't say 'I love you' back away or show him sweetness just like he would, his exact words were, 'I would wait a lifetime.'"

"If this is God's way of showing me forever, I accept it... AJ taught me how to love. He was very selfless. His love was the most pure thing on Earth. It was, in every way, unconditional. And probably that's the message here. He wants all of us to love the way he did also."

"He made me so happy, and even to his last day, he would talk to me and tell me that 'I want you always to be happy. I don't want you sad. I want you to smile a lot. You know why? Because I love you.' And I know as the days go by it will be very difficult but AJ would say he'd want us to be happy. That's the way he lived. He was happy."

"To my baby, you'll always be in my heart. Thank you for making my dreams come true. I'll take care of your family for you. And I'll love the way you loved me."

Many expected that Steph would share in the eulogy the letter that AJ wrote to her before he died. It's not the "letter to future girlfriend" which was published on Candy Magazine in October 2007, but it was a handwritten letter by AJ to Steph, but unfortunately, she's not sharing it to anyone. Let's just leave it to the two of them.

On Twitter, Steph shared a link to a Youtube video containing her photos with boyfriend AJ Perez and said: "Found this video. Thank you so much to the person who made this. :)"

Steph Ayson Photos, TV Patrol interview

Steph Ayson opens up on TV Patrol about her boyfriend AJ Perez, who recently died in an accident.


Steph got interviewed exclusively by TV Patrol's Gretchen Fullido during AJ's first night at La Salle Green Hills and there Steph revealed how their relationship started. According to her, she and AJ were batchmates in grade school.

She met AJ again while she was in 3rd year at Miriam College High School and AJ was also in his Junior Year at La Salle Green Hills.

"I've had a crush on him since grade school and we were batchmates... I met him again when I was in third year high school so doon na nag-start," Steph said in her TV Patrol interview.

"Nu'ng una, parang nayabangan ako sa kanya, inisip ko, 'Inaartehan ba ako nito?' Pero na-realize ko, that he's just very sincere and sweet."

And then she recalls how AJ was as a boyfriend and shares how she misses him a lot.
 
"There've been quite a number of complications regarding privacy, with regards to our relationship, but the good thing about AJ is that even though we, he kept it in the quiet, he made sure that I wouldn't feel that I was pushed aside, he really made me feel special.

"He really made me feel special in every way that he could, even his friends, by constantly texting me."

"I liked his optimism and capability to make people feel optimistic just as he is. And he's just very inspiring and sobrang determined niya."

"I'll miss the way he calls me every time may break sa taping. Sobrang kulit kasi niya, kahit text or call, or pati sa buong family ko.

"I miss having him around, I miss him constantly bugging me to be okay...I don't know how long it will take but i know with God's help and AJ's help, I'll be fine"

I got some photos of Steph, old pics of her but definitely new for us to see...

AJ Perez's longest bf-gf relationship was with Steph Ayson.

As what was revealed by AJ's mom the other day, AJ had many gfs before Steph.

Maybe that included those whom AJ had an "MU".

In a tabloid about 5 years ago when AJ was only starting in showbiz, he already revealed that at 13, he already had 2 MUs.

AJ's first MU was from Immaculate Concepcion Academy and the second one was from Saint Pedro Poveda College.

You're the man AJ!

Steph Ayson, AJ Perez' girlfriend, gets many Twitter followers

Steph Ayson, AJ Perez' girlfriend, has instantly become popular after she was reported attending AJ's wake Sunday night.

Mykiru reported about Steph Ayson yesterday afternoon (read it HERE) and I'm surprised with how the readers were so much interested at Steph, and definitely most of them are sympathizing with her.

Steph was also featured in the newscast of TV Patrol later in the evening where she was shown on video crying at the wake.

Here are screenshots from TV Patrol's news report, where Steph was shown being consoled by Enrique Gil, AJ's fellow Gigger Boys member:

The last time I checked her Twitter profile was yesterday afternoon and she only had 2,000+ followers then, but upon checking it just now, at 1PM, she already has more than 15k followers. Yeah she was able to get more than 13k followers in less than a day.

If yesterday, I said that the only celebs who have followed her previously-private Twitter account are AJ Perez and Lauren Young, but now, more celebs are following it now, and that includes TV Patrol showbiz reporter/anchor Gretchen Fullido, Anne Curtis' sister Jasmine Smith and Giggerboys member Sam Concepcion.

Steph's latest tweet was a link to a photo of AJ during her graduation ball last March 19 along with this caption: "AJ has always looked like an angel":

A new Facebook Fan Page for Steph Ayson where the first 4 pictures above came from is also gettings lots of fans. As of this posting, it already has almost 10k LIKES.

Stephanie "Steph" Ayson is 17 years old and a fresh graduate from Miriam College High School (MCHS), where she was an active member of Sayawatha Dance Troupe.

Yeah just like AJ, Steph is also a great dancer.

AJ Perez' girlfriend Steph Ayson spotted at AJ's wake in La Salle Green Hills Chapel

AJ Perez, who died yesterday, had left behind a girlfriend and she reportedly attended AJ' first night at La Salle Green Hills Chapel.

Photo of AJ Perez and girlfriend Steph Ayson

Ogie Diaz tweeted today that AJ Perez' non-showbiz girlfriend was spotted at LSGH Chapel weeping for AJ's death.

He also added that according to AJ's mom, AJ had many gfs, but his longest relationship was with the said girl.

Yeah, she has every right to mourn for her boyfriend. She's definitely one of those who were deeply affected by AJ's death.

I got the picture above of AJ and his girlfriend on R.I.P AJ Perez Facebook Page and the said page identified the girl as Steph Ayson.

I was able to find Steph's Twitter account (@stephayson) and I saw this tweet of her which was poted hours after AJ died. "I LOVE YOU BABY @AJPEREZ17"

According to Steph, whose Twitter profile was previously set to private, she decided to open her Twitter to the public so she could share to everyone the AJ that she knows.

She also shared that she has always been AJ's fan since grade school.

Then minutes later, she shared this photo of him and AJ. So sweet!

I also checked Steph's followers there and among them are (of course) boyfriend AJ Perez and AJ's former love team partner Lauren Young.

A newly-opened Facebook Page of Steph Ayson also has these pictures:

The first photo, which shows a cake with "Happy 11th Monthsary Dido" in it (Dido was AJ's character in "Sabel") would tell us that they just celebrated their 1st Anniversary, since Sabel was aired from Dec. 2010 to Mar. 2011.

By the way, Ogie also clarified on Twitter the real cause of AJ's death.

@ogiediaz: "ndi ang multiple head injury ang kumitil kay @ajperez17. Sa autopsy, tumusok ang ribs sa puso at left lung ni aj sa lakas ng impact."

He also announced that the public viewing of AJ's remains will be from 9 PM to 12 Midnight.

But this tweet of him caught my attention the most:

@ogiediaz: "Sa Dagupan kahapon, tsika ni Kitkat: "Alam mo, bagay ka sa Mula Sa Puso." Aj: "Oo nga eh. Sayang.Pareho pa kaming La Sallista ni Rico Yan."
